CHENOWETH

I’ve followed athletes’ foibles since Walter Camp began

To pick foot-ball immortals for “The All-American,”

But close as I’ve observed them at home, abroad, afar,

I’m sure that “Texas” Chenoweth is easily the star

Of all elusive “quarters” who ever tried to squirm

On foot-ball field deceptive; on footing wet or firm.

He twists just like a serpent; he’s cunning as a fox;

He runs as from a creditor; he’s mighty hard to box.

He’s slippery as an oyster; he’s fleeter than a deer;
